THE OMNIBUS STARTS.
The Chicago Boodlers' Motion in Ar
rest of Judgment 0verruled and
Each Gets Two Years.

for conspiracy to defraud Cook county,
ILL.,, after motion for an arrest of judg-
ment had been overruled by Judge jamie
son Monday morning.
The proceedings IN court were brief.
When the defendants had been brought
in States Attorney Grinneli SAID:
"Your honor, understand that there is
motion for an arrest of judgment, and
the state now desires that the motion be
disposed of and, if overruled, the de-
PENDANTS sentenced. The points beir g
substantially the same as those already
presented on the motion for new trial,
L suppose there will be no argument
Alexander Sullivan interposed with:
"Our points are not all the same. We
have some new ones, but we will submit
them without argument"
Judge Jamieson-Tne motion in an
arrest of Judgment is overruled.
Exceptions" said William Brown, one
of the attorneys for the defense.
Exceptions allowed" said the Judge.
"Do you now move. for an immediate
sentence, Mr.. Grinneil!"

No." Wasserman said, almost inaudib-
ly. Judge Jameson then pronounced
sentence.

Joliet for period or two years."
Wasserman was unmoved. aud when he
was again seated he pulled carelessly at
his mustache and presently chewed a
toothpick.
In turn Leyden, Oohs, Van Pelt, Var

in the negative to the formal question if
they had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon them,
aud were sentenced in the SANE terms by
Judge Jameson.

Mr.. Brown, while the judges voice yet
vibrated in the air.

judge mechanically, and then he gave the
defense twenty days in which to file their
bill. Gust as an act of courtesy; that's
ALL" said Assistant States Attorney
Walker.
The judge then broke up court, and
the defendants trudged! along the oorri.
dor to the jail again in matter-ot-fact
way. The counsel for the defense do not
say what they will do now, but it is i'm
probable that the case will be taken to
the Supreme court. The exchequer of
boodlers is depleted, and they have lost
their faith in attorneys to save them
from the stripes of the convict.

CLIMBING FOPoCATAPETL.
The Effects on Human Beings of the Rarit,
of the Air at High Attitudes

The Effects on Human Beings of the Rarity
of the Air at High Attitudes.
The effects of the rarity of the atmos-
Phere were felt as soon as the start was
made, and it was impossible to proceed
more than few yards without stopping
to take breath. The ascent was made in
zig -zags, and naturally rest was taken
at the end of each direct line. At the
start, to climb for eight minutes and rest
five was considered making good time.
1t was not long before rest of eight
minutes was required for every four of
climbing, and after the ascent was
made We rested more frequently and
without exerting ourselves to sit down.
We thrust our slaves into the snow and
leaned our heads upon them. Drowsiness
overlook US and progress became me-
chanicel. We moved only as spurred on
by our ever-watchful guides. If left to
ourselves We would have fallen asleep.
Our hearts beat with frightful rapidity,
and the breath became shorter and short
er. Singing sensations in the head like
those produced by large doses of quinine
were experienced. The most acute pains
shot through the skull.
Conversation was suspended, except,
am0Rg the guides and their voices fell
on our ears as if coming from great dis
tance. 1t was impossible to tell what
progress was being made, for the top
and bottom seemed equidistant all the
way up. We barely escaped the most
severe experience likely to occur to those
who reach the high elevation, bleeding at
the nose, mouth, and ears. 1t would nave
been the signal that we had gone too far,
that heart and lungs refused to submit
further, and VS. should have placed our
selves in the hands of our guides to be
carried back to Tiamaces. Our physical
endurance was stretched almost to its
limit by the time the head guide shouted:
Here we are! Smell the sulphur The
Whit of sulphurous smoke which greeted
our nostrils, telling that our ta-k was
nearly completed and rest was at hand
acted like powerful stimulant. We
awoke for a tinal effort, pressed on, and
rested not until We STOOD breathless upon
the summit of PopocatapetI.

About Asphalt.

"The most OF the asphalt comes from
Trinidad, ,"said dealer in the article TO
reporter. Trinidad, you know, is the
most southern of the group of the West
Indies, known as the Windward Islands,
and is next TO Jamaica. La Brsc, the
lake from which the asphGltum is taken,
an area of $50 acres. Charles Kingsleyis
more recent and exact measurement re-
duces this area TO 80 acres. This, how
ever, contains millions of tons of the
crude pitch, which, in its refined state, is
becoming so rapidly popular on the con
tinent from the imperishEble nature OF
the pavement constructed from it. As
phslium is also found in other parts
the island. Though called lake Or la
COON. this depot of pitch is for the most
part solid mass, rent, however, by
chasms varying from three 10 thirty feet
in width, with no great depth, so shat
they are trayersed without much difficulty.
Here and there, wherever there is any
soil, are clumps of trees. The liquid
portion of the lake lies on the side near
est the sea, and only occupies few acres
in extent and of unknown depth. The
vast caldron OF fluid pitch is in state of
slow ebullition aud e1hales strong sui
phuro Us and bituminous odor."

A reign of terror exists in the up-riyer
